warped brake rotors - ongoing ?
Just a posting about the historical and ongoing
warped brake rotor problem - Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 2001 - I had "serviced" the "warped" rotors at about 15k, 30k, & 45k, replacing them at the original 15k service visit, grinding at the 30k, and replacing again at 45k. At the 45k mark, I had the standard rotors replaced with some drilled & slotted upgraded versions on the front... Now we are at 54k, and approaching the next 15k interval at 60k. I can almost sense the coming of the steering wheel vibration during braking. Has there been any consensus about the "warped" rotor problem ? Since I'm now using a different set of rotors, they don't seem to fit into the equation for failure... Some of the past ideas were : rotor material pad material overtightening the lug nuts with impact wrenches Any updates or other current observations as I approach the next rotor inspection |
